Detective Comics #27 Sells for Over $1 Million
What a February it has been. 2 Comics and over $2 million realized. Yes, you heard it correct. What recession? Earlier this month and Action Comics #1 sold for $1 million and now, on February 25th, a CGC 8.0 copy of Detective Comics #27, the first Batman, sold for $1,075,000.00 – truly amazing.
The comic book sold at Heritage Auctions in Dallas and you can view a scan of the comic book below. This is a beautiful copy. Speaking of condition, what does a little restoration do to a comic book even if the apparent grade is higher? Well, a Detective #27 in CGC 8.5 apparent grade with restoration sold for 66,920.00 – quite a difference.
A Golden Age Comic Book Resource
Are you interested in the Golden Age of comic books? If so you may want to check out “The Golden Age of Comic Books” website hosted by Bill Jourdain.
The Golden Age ran from the late 1930’s (Action Comics #1 is usually considered the beginning) to the late 1940’s. When the switch out of the Golden Age occurs is a subject of much debate. If you are a fan of the old collectible books take a look at Bill’s site, I think you will enjoy it, I know I do!
